Now…guess what sort of deal the absolute geniuses who run Scottish Football managed to secure us?
Starting in 2024 - Our deal is worth £150m - OVER 5 YEARS!!
£30m a season for 5 years split between 12 teams.
The genuis of Neil Doncaster, who proudly negotiated this deal and refused to tender the rights for an offer so he accepted the first deal offered to him and made a fat bonus on top.
He is also the guy that wrote a 2 year Notice period into his own contract if he was to ever resign or get £800k to terminate his contract.
This is how pathetic and corrupt the people running Scottish football are.
30 million pound per season for 4 matches ain’t that bad.
Imagine being soo shit, Bundesliga is making more money domestically than you, Tebas, at it again being shit.
You’re talking as if the Bundesliga is some amateur league lmao.
Also I think the fact that Germany, as a country, is richer and more populated than Spain might contribute to this, although it’s true that La Liga could be up there with the PL if they actually took advantage from the Messi-Ronaldo era to get a better TV deal
Domestically they absolutely could not.
Maybe I was exaggerating, but you can’t deny that their TV deal haven’t been that good for a league which had Messi and Ronaldo for years
Why do serie A teams always act like they’re broke?
It’s the third richest league.TBF, everyone outside the Premier League, Real, Barcelona and PSG is kinda broke. If we are talking about straight up financial problems, the big teams fucked up a lot of decisions in past years and they’re paying the toll now, and the smaller teams see a much reduced slice of that cake than the bigger teams, so they take less money than you’d think.
Real and especially Barcelona don’t have that much money and even PSG if you only look at the club is losing a lot of money. Only middle table teams are sometimes not broke.
Should be noted that these are domestic broadcast deals only.
Wait how can the English fans pay so much more than the other fans from their respective countries to justify this difference in revenue domestically? I thought the premier league had an edge solely due to the much larger foreign market
It costs £740 annually to subscribe to all the services currently showing PL matches, so about €900. That’s not an insurmountable expenditure for someone with a decent job in any European country, although it certainly stings a bit.
20quid a month for all sky sports on nowtv. Quite regularly offer those deals. Thats about 75% of the matches covered. And you only need it for 10 months.
a bit.
to put it lightly. Its a fairly insane amount, especially given that its basically the equivalent of every streaming platform i can think of
As an American, that’s pretty cheap.
I’m paying about $170 a month for the cable package and three streaming services necessary.
The full sky package + TNT + amazon prime I believe works it more than $170 in the UK, although you do get the other sky sports channels and probs Internet with it . I’m not sure how much they charge the pubs for it , but there’s a lot of sports pubs in the uk .
I don’t know many who even pay for it all, most of my mates have a dodgy firestick
F that man. Thats way too much whether people can afford it or not
900 per year is insane to me. Yes, it’s affordable for a lot of people, but I can’t imagine paying that much just out of principle.
This. I live in Serbia and I pay 10 euros a month approximately for sports channel that broadcasts literally every PL game lmao I know my country is poor, but paying that amount of money to watch domestic league is wild
Tbf that gets you more than just sports, will get you the whole of sky broadcasting.
Wow, as if there are so many things at sky that are interesting other than football.
